Answer:
Water is a specie which can act both as a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.
Explanation:
- The oxygen atom in the water molecule possesses two lone pairs, one of which might be utilised to create a connection with an H+, allowing it to behave as a base in a process.
- Water is amphoteric because according to the observations it has the ability to function as both an acid and a base.
- Water is amphoteric in nature, by saying that we mean that it can act as both an acid and a base.
- As a result, it is capable of performing all four functions: conjugate acid, conjugate base, acid, and base.
Water as conjugate acid :
- Water behaves as a base when it interacts with an acid.
- The hydronium ion, H3O+, is the conjugate acid of water, generated by the interaction of a hydrogen ion with a water molecule.
Water as conjugate base :
- Water's conjugate base is the hydrogen ion.
- Water behaves as a base when it interacts with an acid: The hydronium ion, H3O+, is the conjugate acid of water, generated by the interaction of a hydrogen ion with a water molecule.
